I'm just being honest here, but I find this hard to believe and I'm going to need more than an anonymous insiders word to believe differently. Even if the final spec Dev Kits only feature 1gig of ram, I highly doubt that any Wii U developer who had access to a final kit didn't know the retail unit would have 2gigs of ram. The title of this topic is "Wii U final specs" not "Wii U dev kits final specs".
Again, imo anyone who really did know the retail Wii U's final specs, who then decided to cosign the specs in this topic, would have said something like "Yeah that's it but I know it has 1 more gig of ram" in this topic. Not 1 month ago, 2 weeks ago or 1 year ago. Saying that you or someone else mentioned 2gigs of memory in another older topic is irrelevant, in my eyes, to this issue.
I have read large amounts of the many Wii U speculation topics, but I usually have to stop reading due to my eyes rolling all the way to the back of my head.
What exactly are you saying here? Any developer who is legitimately working on final Wii U dev kits would have to know exact unit specifications in order to optimize their games. I don't believe that developers like Gearbox, UBI Montpellier, Capcom, Platinum, etc. do not have specs for their units. No offense but who are you that if you haven't seen them then they do not exist? I'm just not familiar with your industry credentials.
Again. If one of these insiders actually had access to the real final Wii U specs, then in this very topic, when those people cosigned the information in the OP, they would have mentioned 2gigs instead of 1gig. Not one month ago. Not 2 weeks ago. In this topic.
To me that would have given anyone, who had interject that fact, tons of credibility when two days later Iwata confirmed that number in the Nintendo Direct. No one did that. That tells me that more than likely none of these "insiders" have real legit final Wii U spec info.
